Because they had been driving the entire time,

Chen Mo’s livestream was jokingly dubbed by viewers as a ”scenic sightseeing stream.”

Some people enjoyed the atmosphere—

leaving the stream open in the background and glancing at it occasionally.

But more viewers came and went.

Even so—

despite the lack of someone like Ah Hui to liven things up,

the stream’s popularity still remained in the millions,

firmly holding the top spot on the platform.

Of course,

another reason many viewers stayed

was Chen Mo’s destination.

As the journey entered its latter half,

many viewers began to notice clues.

[That’s it. Teacher Mo said we’d arrive by evening. If nothing changes, the destination must be Mount Cangqing.]

[That ancient city and temple we passed earlier already gave it away. This is definitely Cangqing Mountain. My family visited before—this route is exactly the same.]

[Mount Cangqing… isn’t that the largest primitive forest in your province? It’s even called a natural zoo.]

Chen Mo glanced at the chat and smiled.

”Looks like you’ve all figured it out. That’s right—this time, our destination is Mount Cangqing.”

As soon as he finished speaking—

the off-road vehicle rounded a mountain bend.

What came into view—

was a vast expanse of lush green mountains.

A great river wound through them,

glimmering like a jade ribbon under the sunlight.

In the distance—

snow-capped peaks pierced into the clouds.

At that moment—

even without drone footage,

just the view from inside the car

was enough to make everyone silently think:

”This is beautiful.”

”We’re almost there,” Chen Mo continued while driving.

”But it’s getting a bit late. The campsite I picked is still some distance away, so I plan to stay in the town ahead for the night and head out tomorrow morning.”

[That’s it? So day one is just sightseeing?]

[Cut him some slack—he’s been driving all day. Resting is reasonable.]

[Did anyone really think he’d start the science segment on day one? Travel takes time.]

[A bit disappointing, but yeah—the sun’s almost setting. Going deep into the mountains now wouldn’t make sense.]

Honestly—

Chen Mo was indeed tired.

Even though he and Yi-ge had switched drivers during breaks,

out of nearly ten hours of travel,

Chen Mo had driven at least six or seven.

Sitting that long was tiring enough—

let alone driving.

On top of that,

as they approached Mount Cangqing,

the altitude kept increasing.

They were now close to 3,000 meters above sea level.

While Chen Mo didn’t think he’d suffer altitude sickness,

it was still his first time in such an environment.

He needed time to adjust.

”You okay?”

After parking in a public lot in town,

Yi-ge suddenly asked.

He had read Chen Mo’s background—

and knew he had never been to such high-altitude regions before.

Chen Mo understood and shook his head with a smile.

”I’m fine.”

”Some people don’t show symptoms immediately after entering high-altitude areas. If you feel anything unusual, tell me right away. Let’s buy some medicine just in case.”

”…Alright.”

Though Chen Mo felt it was just fatigue from driving,

he agreed—it wouldn’t hurt to prepare.

[Afraid of altitude sickness? Teacher Mo, you’re weak~]

[Better safe than sorry. I thought I’d be fine too—turns out altitude sickness doesn’t care how strong you are.]

[Honestly, Teacher Mo looks fine, but Pikachu looks like it’s the one suffering from altitude sickness.]

Seeing the comments,

Chen Mo suddenly remembered—

he wasn’t alone.

”Pikachu, Gengar—how are you two feeling? Any discomfort?”

Pikachu yawned.

”Pika~”

After sitting in the car so long,

it was just tired.

Chen Mo had previously suggested letting Pikachu rest inside a Poké Ball,

but Pikachu insisted on staying with him.

As for Gengar—

Chen Mo still held his earlier stance:

only put it in a Poké Ball when absolutely necessary.

”Gengar!”

Sensing Chen Mo’s thoughts,

Gengar immediately protested indignantly.

What kind of ghost do you think I am!?

”Good, very energetic. Seems like you’re fine.”

Using the Eye of Detection, Chen Mo checked both Pokémon.

Gengar was perfectly fine.

Pikachu was just sleepy—not altitude sickness.

Relieved,

Chen Mo nodded.

Sure enough—

humans and Pokémon had completely different constitutions.

There were quite a few people in town,

most of them likely tourists from lower altitudes.

To avoid trouble,

Chen Mo recalled Pikachu into its Poké Ball—it was tired anyway.

Then he put on a red-and-white cap,

covering most of his face.

Even with Yi-ge filming nearby,

most passersby simply assumed they were filming a video or program.

[Afraid fans will catch you, huh? Too sneaky!]

[Relax, Teacher Mo—no one here recognizes you. Just let Pikachu sit on your shoulder and show your face.]

[But honestly, isn’t this town also a tourist spot? Why does it feel so different from Lavender Town? Fewer tourists, but people seem to live well.]

Chen Mo had noticed too.

Recalling his research before coming,

he explained:

”Although Mount Cangqing is now a tourist destination, back in the 70s and 80s, it wasn’t well known.”

”People here lived self-sufficient lives.”

”It wasn’t until the new century that tourism became a major economic pillar.”

”However, the surge of tourists in recent years caused significant environmental damage.”

”The locals—who’ve lived here for generations—weren’t happy about it.”

”So, to protect the environment and respect their wishes, the area is periodically closed for restoration.”

”So in a way, this place isn’t like Lavender Town, which relies entirely on tourism.”

”The people here still maintain traditional ways of life.”

”That’s why the situation feels different.”

[Nice, Teacher Mo—clearly prepared.]

[Confirmed: this is now a travel education stream.]

[Honestly, he really deserves the title ’teacher’ now.]

Following GPS toward the town’s largest pharmacy,

Chen Mo continued explaining Mount Cangqing.

Some passersby even mistook him for a tour guide.

”…No wonder you’re livestreaming. Being a tour guide isn’t easy these days.”

”But I saw that documentary a few days ago.”

”That young man named Chen Mo made a good point.”

”When people accept Pokémon, this place will prosper too.”

”Young man, you’re very professional. You’ll definitely become a top guide here.”

Hearing the elderly woman’s praise,

Chen Mo felt a bit embarrassed.

Just as he was about to respond—

a loud shout rang out nearby.

”Catch it!”

Everyone turned to look—

and then burst into laughter.

”Beibei escaped again!”

”I told you that new wall wouldn’t hold it!”

”Run, Beibei! Don’t let those weird uncles catch you!”

”Come hide at my place, Beibei! It’s safe!”

Chen Mo followed their gaze—

and then—

A black-and-white, round creature, with a leaf in its mouth,

came into view.

It ran forward on short legs,

occasionally glancing at onlookers with a proud expression—

as if saying:

”See how awesome I am?”

Behind it—

a group of exhausted staff chased after it.

The chat exploded.

[HOLY—IT’S A PANDA!]

[So cute! Our national treasure!]

[As expected of Sichuan—pandas just casually running through town!?]

[Definitely the coolest kid in town!]

[Look at the crowd! Everyone stopped chatting just to watch Beibei!]

[LOL those staff members look like they’re about to kill someone. If they catch it, it’s definitely getting punished.]

[That panda runs FAST! Adults can’t even catch it!]

[Ancient beast! It’s returned to its primal form!]

The entire street came alive—

because of this panda.

Everyone—

except one person.

Chen Mo stood there,

completely frozen.
